Hi.
Hi.
With the upcoming classRP help files, are there any plans to make the Pillars accessible to non-guilded Teradrim? Though none of our messages make mention of them (sadly), they are woven intrinsically into the class lore. It'd be a real shame if the guild, of which is currently on life support, remains the only means of ingress to the Pillars.
When you use one of the lycan hoods, is there somewhere you can see a list of the hoods you've unlocked or are they one-time-use and will be replaced once you use a different one or grow a pelt?
(Illuminai): Saltz says, "Moxie is just doing the Moxie thing to do, often misinterpreted."
(Tells): Sir Iames Gallant, the Executioner tells you, "The one Illuminai beyond prayer, I swear."
Valingar: "How could a daughter of me, the most noble man in the south, be so heartless?"
(Tells): Haven Locke, Illuminai Khimaira tells you, "Be that as it may, I've also seen the strength in you. You can take care of yourself."
THAT SAID - if you use the webclient on phone, you can have have the webclient's GUI set up so that you have the "communication" window something you can slide right/left to and it'll catch all emotes and says in the room with you. It will miss any premotes and thinks, though. And if you lag out, they'll still be there on log back in as long as you don't restart your browser/open a new webpage between them.
Probably the most common time I wish it existed is when I get D/C'd from webclient or something and I can't see if my last tell/say/whatever I tried went through. Or if for some reason the client isn't echoing my commands and I want to see if I typoed or the syntax was just wrong, etc.
Are the daily and by association weekly and also by association monthly milestones impossible to complete? I'll give examples.
Yesterday was play 3 games of Triptchya. I don't even know what that is. Fortunately I know how to use the HELP verb. Oh, it required another player. That's probably not happening.
Today it is fully extract 4 minor foci. I also don't even know what those are. HELP FOCI refers to leylines, which according to the academy requires gold and PvP?
My weekly is Complete 4 daily milestones. 2/7 so far have not been able to be completed. My monthly is complete 3 weekly milestones (of which one didn't count?) While I love the idea of milestones and they played into my decision to attempt to settle here, right now I'm feeling horribly misguided.
Triptycha does require another player, but thankfully, there are plenty of those around. Some of them may even have rolled the same daily milestone task and be looking for someone to play against too. You can try using the MARKET channel to ask if anyone's keen to play.
Foci are a conflict/PvP system, yes. But while extracting from a minor foci might flag you as PKable, this very rarely happens. Minor foci collapse shortly after extraction begins (I'm talking ten seconds or so), and that's not enough time to rally, def up, locate you, travel to you, and attack you. Further, minor foci only contain a small amount of ylem (the resource we're supposed to be fighting over), so it's not really worth anyone's time to hunt you down.
So, while it is part of a PvP mechanic, you're unlikely to actually see any combat. And if someone does show up, you can just run! Worst case scenario, you die and lose some xp. But in my experience, PvP only really happens in minor foci when it's two seasoned combatants looking for an excuse to fight each other.
While it may be beneficial to approach the milestone system with an attitude of broadening your gameplay horizons and learning new things, there's also a command (MILESTONE REROLL DAILY) that lets you try your luck for a new task for a fee of 2000 gold.
tl;dr: None of them are impossible! Just less fun or more fun depending on your personal play style preferences.
P.S. Welcome back to Aetolia!
Editing to add: This aura is also applied to Lesser and Major foci, which are much bigger group combat venues. So you can jump in, help as you can, with no physical loss (beyond curatives burnt through Firstaid/your system) for trying.
